Ablutions (Wudu')

Allah's Apostle said, "The prayer of a person who does ,Hadath (passes, urine,
stool or wind) is not accepted till he performs (repeats) the ablution." A person
from Hadaramout asked Abu Huraira, "What is 'Hadath'?" Abu Huraira replied,
" 'Hadath' means the passing of wind from the anus."

Once I went up the roof of the mosque, along with Abu Huraira. He perform ablution and
said, "I heard the Prophet saying, "On the Day of Resurrection, my followers
will be called "Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalun" from the trace of ablution and whoever
can increase the area of his radiance should do so (i.e. by performing ablution
regularly).' "

Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Prophet slept till he snored and then prayed (or probably
lay till his breath sounds were heard and then got up and prayed)." Ibn 'Abbas added:
"I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt, Maimuna, the Prophet slept for a part of
the night, (See Fateh-al-Bari page 249, Vol. 1), and late in the night, he got up and
performed ablution from a hanging water skin, a light (perfect) ablution and stood up for
the prayer. I, too, performed a similar ablution, then I went and stood on his left. He
drew me to his right and prayed as much as Allah wished, and again lay and slept till his
breath sounds were heard. Later on the Mua'dhdhin (callmaker for the prayer) came to him
and informed him that it was time for Prayer. The Prophet went with him for the prayer
without performing a new ablution." (Sufyan said to 'Amr that some people said,
"The eyes of Allah's Apostle sleep but his heart does not sleep." 'Amr replied,
"I heard 'Ubaid bin 'Umar saying that the dreams of Prophets were Divine Inspiration,
and then he recited the verse: 'I (Abraham) see in a dream, (O my son) that I offer you in
sacrifice (to Allah)." (37.102) (See Hadith No. 183)

Allah's Apostle proceeded from 'Arafat till when he reached the mountain pass, he
dismounted, urinated and then performed ablution but not a perfect one. I said to him,
("Is it the time for) the prayer, O Allah's Apostle?" He said, "The (place
of) prayer is ahead of you." He rode till when he reached Al-Muzdalifa, he dismounted
and performed ablution and a perfect one, The (call for) Iqama was pronounced and he led
the Maghrib prayer. Then everybody made his camel kneel down at its place. Then the Iqama
was pronounced for the 'Isha' prayer which the Prophet led and no prayer was offered in
between the two . prayers ('Isha' and Maghrib).

Ibn 'Abbas performed ablution and washed his face (in the following way): He ladled out
a handful of water, rinsed his mouth and washed his nose with it by putting in water and
then blowing it out. He then, took another handful (of water) and did like this
(gesturing) joining both hands, and washed his face, took another handful of water and
washed his right forearm. He again took another handful of water and washed his left
forearm, and passed wet hands over his head and took another handful of water and poured
it over his right foot (up to his ankles) and washed it thoroughly and similarly took
another handful of water and washed thoroughly his left foot (up to the ankles) and said,
"I saw Allah's Apostle performing ablution in this way."

The Prophet said, "If anyone of you on having sexual relations with his wife said
(and he must say it before starting) 'In the name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan
and also protect what you bestow upon us (i.e. the coming offspring) from Satan, and if it
is destined that they should have a child then, Satan will never be able to harm that
offspring."

Whenever the Prophet went to answer the call of nature, he used to say,
"Allah-umma inni a'udhu bika minal khubuthi wal khaba'ith i.e. O Allah, I seek Refuge
with You from all offensive and wicked things (evil deeds and evil spirits)."

Once the Prophet entered a lavatory and I placed water for his ablution. He asked,
"Who placed it?" He was informed accordingly and so he said, "O Allah! Make
him (Ibn 'Abbas) a learned scholar in religion (Islam)."

People say, "Whenever you sit for answering the call of nature, you should not
face the Qibla or Bait-ulMaqdis (Jerusalem)." I told them. "Once I went up the
roof of our house and I saw Allah's Apostle answering the call of nature while sitting on
two bricks facing Bait-ul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) (but there was a screen covering him. '
(FatehAl-Bari, Page 258, Vol. 1).

The wives of the Prophet used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqia at
Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. 'Umar used to say to the Prophet "Let
your wives be veiled," but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam'a
the wife of the Prophet went out at 'Isha' time and she was a tall lady. 'Umar addressed
her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired
eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be
revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover
excluding the eyes).

I went up to the roof of Hafsa's house for some job and I saw Allah's Apostle answering
the call of nature facing Sham (Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon regarded as one
country) with his back towards the Qibla. (See Hadith No. 147).

Whenever Allah's Apostle went to answer the call of nature, I along with another boy
used to accompany him with a tumbler full of water. (Hisham commented, "So that he
might wash his private parts with it.)"

Allah's Apostle said, "Whenever anyone of you drinks water, he should not breathe
in the drinking utensil, and whenever anyone of you goes to a lavatory, he should neither
touch his penis nor clean his private parts with his right hand."

The Prophet said, "Whenever anyone of you makes water he should not hold his penis
or clean his private parts with his right hand. (And while drinking) one should not
breathe in the drinking utensil ."

I followed the Prophet while he was going out to answer the call of nature. He used not
to look this way or that. So, when I approached near him he said to me, "Fetch for me
some stones for ' cleaning the privates parts (or said something similar), and do not
bring a bone or a piece of dung." So I brought the stones in the corner of my garment
and placed them by his side and I then went away from him. When he finished (from
answering the call of nature) he used, them .

The Prophet went out to answer the call of nature and asked me to bring three stones. I
found two stones and searched for the third but could not find it. So took a dried piece
of dung and brought it to him. He took the two stones and threw away the dung and said,
"This is a filthy thing."

(the slave of 'Uthman) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking for a tumbler of water (and when
it was brought) he poured water over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his
right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water
in it and then blowing it out. then he washed his face and forearrlns up to the elbows
thrice, passed his wet hands over his head and washed his feet up to the ankles thrice.
Then he said, "Allah's Apostle said 'If anyone Performs ablution like that of mine
and offers a two-rak'at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not
related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.' " After
performing the ablution 'Uthman said, "I am going to tell you a Hadith which I would
not have told you, had I not been compelled by a certain Holy Verse (the sub narrator
'Urwa said: This verse is: "Verily, those who conceal the clear signs and the
guidance which we have sent down...)" (2:159). I heard the Prophet saying, 'If a man
performs ablution perfectly and then offers the compulsory congregational prayer, Allah
will forgive his sins committed between that (prayer) and the (next) prayer till he offers
it.

The Prophet said, "Whoever performs ablution should clean his nose with water by
putting the water in it and then blowing it out, and whoever cleans his private parts with
stones should do it with odd number of stones."

Allah's Apostle said, "If anyone of you performs ablution he should put water in
his nose and then blow it out and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do
so with odd numbers. And whoever wakes up from his sleep should wash his hands before
putting them in the water for ablution, because nobody knows where his hands were during
sleep."

The Prophet remained behind us on a journey. He joined us while we were performing
ablution for the 'Asr prayer which was over-due and we were just passing wet hands over
our feet (not washing them thoroughly) so he addressed us in a loud voice saying twice
orthriae, "Save your heels from the fire."

(the freed slave of 'Uthman bin 'Affan) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking (for a tumbler
of water) to perform ablution (and when it was brought) he poured water from it over his
hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed
his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. Then he
washed his face thrice and (then) forearms up to the elbows thrice, then passed his wet
hands over his head and then washed each foot thrice. After that 'Uthman said, "I saw
the Prophet performing ablution like this of mine, and he said, 'If anyone performs
ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak'at prayer during which he does not think
of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.
'

I heard Abu Huraira saying as he passed by us while the people were performing ablution
from a utensil containing water, "Perform ablution perfectly and thoroughly for
Abul-Qasim (the Prophet) said, 'Save your heels from the Hell-fire.' "

I asked 'Abdullah bin 'Umar, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman! I saw you doing four things
which I never saw being done by anyone of you companions?" 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said,
"What are those, O Ibn Juraij?" I said, "I never saw you touching any
corner of the Ka'ba except these (two) facing south (Yemen) and I saw you wearing shoes
made of tanned leather and dyeing your hair with Hinna; (a kind of dye). I also noticed
that whenever you were in Mecca, the people assume l,hram on seeing the new moon crescent
(1st of Dhul-Hijja) while you did not assume the Ihlal (Ihram)--(Ihram is also called
Ihlal which means 'Loud calling' because a Muhrim has to recite Talbiya aloud when
assuming the state of Ihram)--till the 8th of Dhul-Hijja (Day of Tarwiya). 'Abdullah
replied, "Regarding the corners of Ka'ba, I never saw Allah's Apostle touching except
those facing south (Yemen) and regarding the tanned leather shoes, no doubt I saw Allah's
Apostle wearing non-hairy shoes and he used to perform ablution while wearing the shoes
(i.e. wash his feet and then put on the shoes). So I love to wear similar shoes. And about
the dyeing of hair with Hinna; no doubt I saw Allah's Apostle dyeing his hair with it and
that is why I like to dye (my hair with it). Regarding Ihlal, I did not see Allah's
Apostle assuming Ihlal till he set out for Hajj (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijja)."

saw Allah's Apostle when the 'Asr prayer was due and the people searched for water to
perform ablution but they could not find it. Later on (a pot full of) water for ablution
was brought to Allah's Apostle . He put his hand in that pot and ordered the people to
perform ablution from it. I saw the water springing out from underneath his fingers till
all of them performed the ablution (it was one of the miracles of the Prophet).

I said to 'Ablda, "I have some of the hair of the Prophet which I got from Anas or
from his family." 'Abida replied. "No doubt if I had a single hair of that it
would have been dearer to me than the whole world and whatever is in it."

The Prophet said, "A man saw a dog eating mud from (the severity of) thirst. So,
that man took a shoe (and filled it) with water and kept on pouring the water for the dog
till it quenched its thirst. So Allah approved of his deed and made him to enter
Paradise." And narrated Hamza bin 'Abdullah: My father said. "During the
lifetime of Allah's Apostle, the dogs used to urinate, and pass through the mosques (come
and go), nevertheless they never used to sprinkle water on it (urine of the dog.)"

I asked the Prophet (about the hunting dogs) and he replied, "If you let loose
(with Allah's name) your tamed dog after a game and it hunts it, you may eat it, but if
the dog eats of (that game) then do not eat it because the dog has hunted it for
itself." I further said, "Sometimes I send my dog for hunting and find another
dog with it. He said, "Do not eat the game for you have mentioned Allah's name only
on sending your dog and not the other dog."

Allah's Apostle said, "A person is considered in prayer as long as he is waiting
for the prayer in the mosque as long as he does not do Hadath." A non-Arab man asked,
"O Abii Huraira! What is Hadath?" I replied, "It is the passing of wind
(from the anus) (that is one of the types of Hadath)."

I used to get emotional urethral discharges frequently and felt shy to ask Allah's
Apostle about it. So I requested Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad to ask (the Prophet ) about it.
Al-Miqdad asked him and he replied, "On has to perform ablution (after it)."

I asked 'Uthman bin 'Affan about a person who engaged in intercourse but did no
discharge. 'Uthman replied, "He should perform ablution like the one for ar ordinary
prayer but he must wash his penis." 'Uthman added, "I heard it from Allah's
Apostle." I asked 'Ali Az-Zubair, Talha and Ubai bin Ka'b about it and they, too,
gave the same reply. (This order was cancelled later on and taking a bath became necessary
for such cases).

Allah's Apostle sent for a Ansari man who came with water dropping from his head. The
Prophet said, "Perhaps we have forced you to hurry up, haven't we?" The Ansari
replied, "Yes." Allah's Apostle further said, "If you are forced to hurry
up (during intercourse) or you do not discharge then ablution is due on you (This order
was cancelled later on, i.e. one has to take a bath).

"When Allah's Apostle departed from 'Arafat, he turned towards a mountain pass
where he answered the call of nature. (After he had finished) I poured water and he
performed ablution and then I said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! Will you offer the
prayer?" He replied, "The Musalla (place of the prayer) is ahead of you (in
Al-Muzdalifa)."

I was in the company of Allah's Apostle on one of the journeys and he went out to
answer the call of nature (and after he finished) I poured water and he performed
ablution; he washed his face, forearms and passed his wet hand over his head and over the
two Khuff, (leather socks).

that he stayed overnight in the house of Maimuna the wife of the Prophet, his aunt. He
added : I lay on the bed (cushion transversally) while Allah's Apostle and his wife lay in
the length-wise direction of the cushion. Allah's Apostle slept till the middle of the
night, either a bit before or a bit after it and then woke up, rubbing the traces of sleep
off his face with his hands. He then, recited the last ten verses of Sura Al-Imran, got up
and went to a hanging water-skin. He then Performed the ablution from it and it was a
perfect ablution, and then stood up to offer the prayer. I, too, got up and did as the
Prophet had done. Then I went and stood by his side. He placed his right hand on my head
and caught my right ear and twisted it. He prayed two Rakat then two Rakat and two Rakat
and then two Rakat and then two Rakat and then two Rakat (separately six times), and
finally one Rak'a (the Witr). Then he lay down again in the bed till the Mu'adhdhin came
to him where upon the Prophet got up, offered a two light Rakat prayer and went out and
led the Fajr prayer

I came to 'Aisha the wife of the Prophet during the solar eclipse. The people were
standing and offering the prayer and she was also praying. I asked her, "What is
wrong with the people?" She beckoned with her hand towards the sky and said,
"Subhan Allah." I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She pointed out,
"Yes." So I, too, stood for the prayer till I fell unconscious and later on I
poured water on my head. After the prayer, Allah's Apostle praised and glorified Allah and
said, "Just now I have seen something which I never saw before at this place of mine,
including Paradise and Hell. I have been inspired (and have understood) that you will be
put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Ad-Dajjal, or
nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure of what Asma' said). Angels will come to
every one of you and ask, 'What do you know about this man?' A believer will reply, 'He is
Muhammad, Allah's Apostle , and he came to us with self-evident truth and guidance. So we
accepted his teaching, believed and followed him.' Then the angels will say to him to
sleep in peace as they have come to know that he was a believer. On the other hand a
hypocrite or a doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know but heard the people saying
something and so I said the same.' "

A person asked 'Abdullah bin Zaid who was the grandfather of 'Amr bin Yahya, "Can
you show me how Allah's Apostle used to perform ablution?" 'Abdullah bin Zaid replied
in the affirmative and asked for water. He poured it on his hands and washed them twice,
then he rinsed his mouth thrice and washed his nose with water thrice by putting water in
it and blowing it out. He washed his face thrice and after that he washed his forearms up
to the elbows twice and then passed his wet hands over his head from its front to its back
and vice versa (beginning from the front and taking them to the back of his head up to the
nape of the neck and then brought them to the front again from where he had started) and
washed his feet (up to the ankles).

My father saw 'Amr bin Abi Hasan asking 'Abdullah bin Zaid about the ablution of the
Prophet. 'Abdullah bin Zaid asked for earthen-ware pot containing water and in front of
them performed ablution like that of the Prophet . He poured water from the pot over his
hand and washed his hands thrice and then he put his hands in the pot and rinsed his mouth
and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out with three handfuls of
water. Again he put his hand in the water and washed his face thrice and washed his
forearms up to the elbows twice; and then put his hands in the water and then passed them
over his head by bringing them to the front and then to the rear of the head once, and
then he washed his feet up to the ankles.

Allah's Apostle came to us at noon and water for ablution was brought to him. After he
had performed ablution, the remaining water was taken by the people and they started
smearing their bodies with it (as a blessed thing). The Prophet offered two Rakat of the
Zuhr prayer and then two Rakat of the 'Asr prayer while an 'Anza (spear-headed stick) was
there (as a Sutra) in front of him. Abu Musa said: The Prophet asked for a tumbler
containing water and washed both his hands and face in it and then threw a mouthful of
water in the tumbler and said to both of us (Abu Musa and Bilal), "Drink from the
tumbler and pour some of its water on your faces and chests."

Mahmud bin Ar-Rabi' who was the person on whose face the Prophet had ejected a mouthful
of water from his family's well while he was a boy, and 'Urwa (on the authority of
Al-Miswar and others) who testified each other, said, "Whenever the Prophet ,
performed ablution, his companions were nearly fighting for the remains of the
water."

My aunt took me to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This son of my sister
has got a disease in his legs." So he passed his hands on my head and prayed for
Allah's blessings for me; then he performed ablution and I drank from the remaining water.
I stood behind him and saw the seal of Prophethood between his shoulders, and it was like
the "Zir-al-Hijla" (means the button of a small tent, but some said 'egg of a
partridge.' etc.)

(on the authority of his father) 'Abdullah bin Zaid poured water on his hands from a
utensil containing water and washed them and then with one handful of water he rinsed his
mouth and cleaned his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. He repeated it
thrice. He, then, washed his hands and forearms up to the elbows twice and passed wet
hands over his head, both forwards and backwards, and washed his feet up to the ankles and
said, "This is the ablution of Allah's Apostle."

My father said, "I saw Amr bin Abi Hasan asking 'Abdullah bin Zaid about the
ablution of the Prophet. Abdullah bin Zaid asked for an earthenware pot containing water
and performed ablution in front of them. He poured water over his hands and washed them
thrice. Then he put his (right) hand in the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose
by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice with three handfuls of water Again
he put his hand in the water and washed his face thrice. After that he put his hand in the
pot and washed his forearms up to the elbows twice and then again put his hand in the
water and passed wet hands over his head by bringing them to the front and then to the
back and once more he put his hand in the pot and washed his feet (up to the
ankles.)"

Allah's Apostle came to visit me while I was sick and unconscious. He performed
ablution and sprinkled the remaining water on me and I became conscious and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! To whom will my inheritance go as I have neither ascendants nor
descendants?" Then the Divine verses regarding Fara'id (inheritance) were revealed.

It was the time for prayer, and those whose houses were near got up and went to their
people (to perform ablution), and there remained some people (sitting). Then a painted
stove pot (Mikhdab) containing water was brought to Allah's Apostles The pot was small,
not broad enough for one to spread one's hand in; yet all the people performed ablution.
(The sub narrator said, "We asked Anas, 'How many persons were you?' Anas replied 'We
were eighty or more"). (It was one of the miracles of Allah's Apostle).

Once Allah's Apostle came to us and we brought out water for him in a brass pot. He
performed ablution thus: He washed his face thrice, and his forearms to the elbows twice,
then passed his wet hands lightly over the head from front to rear and brought them to
front again and washed his feet (up to the ankles).

When the ailment of the Prophet became aggravated and his disease became severe, he
asked his wives to permit him to be nursed (treated) in my house. So they gave him the
permission. Then the Prophet came (to my house) with the support of two men, and his legs
were dragging on the ground, between 'Abbas, and another man." 'Ubaid-Ullah (the sub
narrator) said, "I informed 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas of what'Aisha said. Ibn 'Abbas said:
'Do you know who was the other man?' I replied in the negative. Ibn 'Abbas said, 'He was
'Ali (bin Abi Talib)." 'Aisha further said, "When the Prophet came to my house
and his sickness became aggravated he ordered us to pour seven skins full of water on him,
so that he might give some advice to the people. So he was seated in a Mikhdab (brass tub)
belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet. Then, all of us started pouring water on him
from the water skins till he beckoned to us to stop and that we have done (what he wanted
us to do). After that he went out to the people."

(on the authority of his father) My uncle used to perform ablution extravagantly and
once he asked 'Abdullah bin Zaid to tell him how he had seen the Prophet performing
ablution. He asked for an earthen-ware pot containing water, and poured water from it on
his hands and washed them thrice, and then put his hand in the earthen-ware pot and rinsed
his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it Out thrice with
one handful of water; he again put his hand in the water and took a handful of water and
washed his face thrice, then washed his hands up to the elbows twice, and took water with
his hand, and passed it over his head from front to back and then from back to front, and
then washed his feet (up to the ankles) and said, "I saw the Prophet performing
ablution in that way."

Anas said, "The Prophet asked for water and a tumbler with a broad base and no so
deep, containing a small quantity of water, was brought to him whereby he put his fingers
in it." Anas further said, ' noticed the water springing out from amongst his
fingers." Anas added, ' estimated that the people who performed ablution with it
numbered between seventy to eighty."

Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas said, "The Prophet passed wet hands over his Khuffs."
'Abdullah bin 'Umar asked Umar about it. 'Umar replied in the affirmative and added,
"Whenever Sa'd narrates a Hadith from the Prophet, there is no need to ask anyone
else about it."

Once Allah's Apostle went out to answer the call of nature and I followed him with a
tumbler containing water, and when he finished, I poured water and he performed ablution
and passed wet hands over his Khuffs.

My father said, "Once I was in the company of the Prophet on a journey and I
dashed to take off his Khuffs. He ordered me to leave them as he had put them after
performing ablution. So he passed wet hands or them.

In the year of the conquest of Khaibar I went with Allah's Apostle till we reached
Sahba,' a place near Khaibar, where Allah's Apostle offered the 'Asr prayer and asked for
food. Nothing but Sawrq was brought. He ordered it to be moistened with water. He and all
of us ate it and the Prophet got up for the evening prayer (Maghrib prayer), rinsed his
mouth with water and we did the same, and he then prayed without repeating the ablution.

Allah's Apostle said, "If anyone of you feels drowsy while praying he should go to
bed (sleep) till his slumber is over because in praying while drowsy one does not know
whether one is asking for forgiveness or for a bad thing for oneself."

In the year of the conquest of Khaibar I went with Allah's Apostle till we reached
As-Sahba' where Allah's Apostle led the 'Asr prayer and asked for the food. Nothing but
Sawiq was brought and we ate it and drank (water). The Prophet got up for the (Maghrib)
Prayer, rinsed his mouth with water and then led the prayer without repeating the
ablution.

Once the Prophet, while passing through one of the grave-yards of Medina or Mecca heard
the voices of two persons who were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet said,
"These two persons are being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid)." The
Prophet then added, "Yes! (they are being tortured for a major sin). Indeed, one of
them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine while the other used to go about
with calumnies (to make enmiy between friends). The Prophet then asked for a green leaf of
a date-palm tree, broke it into two pieces and put one on each grave. On being asked why
he had done so, he replied, "I hope that their torture might be lessened, till these
get dried."

The Prophet once passed by two graves and said, "These two persons are being
tortured not for a major sin (to avoid). One of them never saved himself from being soiled
with his urine, while the other used to go about with calumnies(to make enmity between
friends)." The Prophet then took a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into
(pieces) and fixed one on each grave. They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why have you
done so?" He replied, "I hope that their punishment might be lessened till these
(the pieces of the leaf) become dry." (See the foot-note of Hadith 215).

A Bedouin stood up and started making water in the mosque. The people caught him but
the Prophet ordered them to leave him and to pour a bucket or a tumbler of water over the
place where he had passed the urine. The Prophet then said, "You have been sent to
make things easy and not to make them difficult."

A Bedouin came and passed urine in one corner of the mosque. The people shouted at him
but the Prophet stopped them till he finished urinating. The Prophet ordered them to spill
a bucket of water over that place and they did so.

I brought my young son, who had not started eating (ordinary food) to Allah's Apostle
who took him and made him sit in his lap. The child urinated on the garment of the
Prophet, so he asked for water and poured it over the soiled (area) and did not wash it.

The Prophet and I walked till we reached the dumps of some people. He stood, as any one
of you stands, behind a wall and urinated. I went away, but he beckoned me to come. So I
approached him and stood near his back till he finished.

Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari used to lay great stress on the question of urination and he used
to say, "If anyone from Bani Israel happened to soil his clothes with urine, he used
to cut that portion away." Hearing that, Hudhaifa said to Abu Wail, "I wish he
(Abu Musa) didn't (lay great stress on that matter)." Hudhaifa added, "Allah's
Apostle went to the dumps of some people and urinated while standing."

A woman came to the Prophet and said, "If anyone of us gets menses in her clothes
then what should she do?" He replied, "She should (take hold of the soiled
place), rub it and put it in the water and rub it in order to remove the traces of blood
and then pour water over it. Then she can pray in it."

Fatima bint Abi Hubaish came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle I get
persistent bleeding from the uterus and do not become clean. Shall I give up my
prayers?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, because it is from a blood vessel and
not the menses. So when your real menses begins give up your prayers and when it has
finished wash off the blood (take a bath) and offer your prayers." Hisham (the sub
narrator) narrated that his father had also said, (the Prophet told her): "Perform
ablution for every prayer till the time of the next period comes."

I heard Sulaiman bin Yasar talking about the clothes soiled with semen. He said that
'Aisha had said, "I used to wash it off the clothes of Allah's Apostle and he would
go for the prayers while water spots were still visible on them.

Anas said, "Some people of 'Ukl or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate
did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to
drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they went as directed and after they became
healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news
reached the Prophet early in the morning and he sent (men) in their pursuit and they were
captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their hands and feet (and it was
done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were put in 'Al-Harra'
and when they asked for water, no water was given to them." Abu Qilaba said,
"Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and
fought against Allah and His Apostle ."

The Prophet said, "A wound which a Muslim receives in Allah's cause will appear on
the Day of Resurrection as it was at the time of infliction; blood will be flowing from
the wound and its color will be that of the blood but will smell like musk."

Allah's Apostle said, "We (Muslims) are the last (people to come in the world) but
(will be) the foremost (on the Day of Resurrection)." The same narrator told that the
Prophet had said, "You should not pass urine in stagnant water which is not flowing
then (you may need to) wash in it."

Once the Prophet was offering prayers at the Ka'ba. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of
his companions. One of them said to the others, "Who amongst you will bring the
abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of a camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back
of Muhammad, when he prostrates?" The most unfortunate of them got up and brought it.
He waited till the Prophet prostrated and then placed it on his back between his
shoulders. I was watching but could not do any thing. I wish I had some people with me to
hold out against them. They started laughing and falling on one another. Allah's Apostle
was in prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's daughter) came
and threw that (camel's abdominal contents) away from his back. He raised his head and
said thrice, "O Allah! Punish Quraish." So it was hard for Abu Jahl and his
companions when the Prophet invoked Allah against them as they had a conviction that the
prayers and invocations were accepted in this city (Mecca). The Prophet said, "O
Allah! Punish Abu Jahl, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Shaiba bin Rabi'a, Al-Walid bin 'Utba, Umaiya
bin Khalaf, and 'Uqba bin Al Mu'it (and he mentioned the seventh whose name I cannot
recall). By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I saw the dead bodies of those persons who
were counted by Allah's Apostle in the Qalib (one of the wells) of Badr.

Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi, was asked by the people, "With what was the wound of the
Prophet treated? Sahl replied, "None remains among the people living who knows that
better than I. 'Ah used to bring water in his shield and Fatima used to wash the blood off
his face. Then straw mat was burnt and the wound was filled with it."

The Prophet said to me, "Whenever you go to bed perform ablution like that for the
prayer, lie or your right side and say, "Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilaika, wa fauwadtu
amri ilaika, wa alja'tu Zahri ilaika raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. La Malja' wa la manja
minka illa ilaika. Allahumma amantu bikitabika-l-ladhi anzalta wa bina-biyika-l ladhi
arsalta" (O Allah! I surrender to You and entrust all my affairs to You and depend
upon You for Your Blessings both with hope and fear of You. There is no fleeing from You,
and there is no place of protection and safety except with You O Allah! I believe in Your
Book (the Qur'an) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad) whom You have
sent). Then if you die on that very night, you will die with faith (i.e. or the religion
of Islam). Let the aforesaid words be your last utterance (before sleep)." I repeated
it before the Prophet and when I reached "Allahumma amantu bikitabika-l-ladhi anzalta
(O Allah I believe in Your Book which You have revealed)." I said, "Wa-rasulika
(and your Apostle)." The Prophet said, "No, (but say): 'Wanabiyika-l-ladhi
arsalta (Your Prophet whom You have sent), instead."
